Chinook Pass / Cayuse Pass

Hey Stimbuck and crew ,Thanks not only for the hard work but also for the timely updates. Now if we could get you to throw in a snow quality report .

Cheers and beers.

Snow is generally quite good at this time, likely the same story throughout the Cascades. It seems that once we go to a well drained snowpack the turns get good everywhere, and the skinning isn't bad either.

On a side note: I was at Alpental today helping with setup for the weekend and the skiing is good. Barely a drop of rain all day, though it poured for a bit on my drive back to Ellensburg.

Cheers,

Looks like we are on track to open Chinook Pass this Thursday, June 5th. Crews made the connection at the end of last week and are currently cleaning up the remaining snow (including parking). There's been some road and guardrail damage from the early December avalanche/rain cycle and crews will work to repair these problems this week and into the summer.

Cheers,

yeehaw!
I feel a bad cough coming on, may have to take a sick day!
thanks for the update Stimbuck, much appreciated.

You are a local guru!  Do you get paid to ski-cut and bomb these lines?
